Chapter 177

"Well, the Sheriff has agreed!"

Yao Lingkun's face was slightly surprised. Unexpectedly, the new sheriff actually agreed.

"In this case, please enter the city." Yao Lingkun said.

Liu Ye turned his head and said, "meaningful, you lead the troops to set up camp outside the city."

Zhang jaw hesitated: "prefect, is not the end of the mouth, but everything more careful."

Liu Ye nods. The reason why he dares to accept Yao Lingkun's invitation is that he is a master of boxing. Even if he is trapped in a tight encirclement, he may not be able to kill him alone. If Liu Ye is a weak scholar who has no strength to bind a chicken, he will not dare to enter.

The gate of the city gate opens slowly. Liu Ye drives his horse slowly into the city. He sees two rows of Qiang soldiers around him. He looks at him with both surprise and anger. However, Liu Ye doesn't care. He just drives his horse forward.

"I didn't expect that there were prefectures among the Han people. Yao Lingkun admired them."

Yao Lingkun comes face-to-face with both hands clasping fists, while Liu Ye turns over and dismounts his horse. The Qiang people's attendants beside Yao Lingkun step forward and lead the war horse in his hand.

Liu Ye opens the door and says, "where are the officials sent by the county magistrate Wang Shu to be detained?"

Yao Lingkun a Leng, did not expect Liu Ye so fierce: "please follow me."

Liu Ye and Yao Lingkun walk side by side in front of a house without a window. The Qiang attendants go forward to open the door, and the beam of light suddenly shines into the deep house.

A man in the room lay motionless and wanted to die. The sun shone on his pale face, and his body moved slightly.

"Hey, wake up, the Sheriff of Tianshui is here."

"Sheriff?"

The man in the room jumped to his feet, dressed in a mess. Seeing Liu Ye in red, he rushed out and threw himself to the ground.

"Sheriff! You have come. "

Liu Ye frowned slightly, looking at the man in front of him: "are you a subordinate official of the county magistrate Wang Shu?"

"Exactly, villain Fan Qin."

"Wang Shu ordered you to come to Yao Lingkun tribe to collect taxes. What do you mean?"

Fan Qin was stunned and cautiously said: "villains, villains say 15 taxes and one."

"What! What you said clearly is ten yuan per mu. "

"If it's fifteen, will he say yes to the court?"

As soon as Fan Qin opens his mouth, all the Qiang people around him look angry, and they stretch out their hands to criticize him. Fan Qin quickly leans against Liu Ye.

Liu Ye's eyes twinkled slightly and said in a low voice, "don't worry, the prefect is also a Han nationality, and he will naturally make decisions for the Han people."

Fan Qin breathed a sigh of relief, and said in a similar low voice: "sheriff, the northwest war was caused by the Qiang people. The county magistrate is kind enough to give 15 taxes to the whole county people. This group of Qiang people should pay 10 yuan per mu."

Liu Ye smiles and nods: "good, good..."

Fan Qin breathed a sigh of relief when he heard the sheriff say hello. Fortunately, the sheriff came. Otherwise, I didn't know how many days I would be trapped by Qiang people.

Fan Qin said with a smile, "sheriff, when are you..."

Pooh!

This is the sound of a sharp blade cutting into the flesh. Fan Qin looks down and sees a long sword pierced his chest. His eyes look up along the ridge of the sword. It is Liu Ye's palm that can hold the handle of the sword.

"Sheriff, you?"

Liu Ye snorts coldly, kicks Fan Qin to the ground, looks around, and says in a loud voice: "a certain order, the whole county tax 15 tax, Chengji county official Fan Qin, arbitrarily changed his life, some killed it!"

After that, Liu Ye pulls out the sword, and Fan Qin's body twitches. He vomits blood in his mouth. For a while, he doesn't move.

After Killing Fan Qin, Liu Ye said without changing his face: "under the governor of this prefecture, Han people and Qiang people are treated equally. As long as they do not follow the northern palace Boyu rebellion and pay taxes in peace of mind, they are all Han people."

After saying this, Liu Ye said in a tone: "your taxes will be changed to 15 taxes."

After a moment of silence, there were deafening cheers all around.

"The sheriff is kind, and we are all blessed."

"In the future, we Qiang people will be able to pay 15 taxes and 1 tax? I'll be able to bathe in the grace of the son of heaven

Yao Lingkun laughs and goes forward, holding Liu Ye's hand, with a twinkle in his eyes.

"If you don't dislike it, Yao Lingkun wants to make friends with the sheriff."

Liu Ye raises his arm and holds his hands tightly together.

"It's my pleasure to make a friend of chieftain Yao."

"Please come with me, Sheriff!"

Liu Ye and Yao Lingkun walk side by side, followed by a group of Qiang attendants, and stride into the hall.

Yao Lingkun asked Liu Ye to sit at the head of the hall. Some Qiang people's attendants came into the hall and brought up plates of mutton and rice wine.

Yao Lingkun smiles and claps his hands.

Liu Ye looks at Yao Lingkun and thinks what kind of tricks he is going to play. At this time, eight Qiang women slowly come in, wearing short sleeves, showing their slender arms and smooth stomachs. Their clothes are very exposed, which is quite different from those of the Central Plains maid.The rich and noble people in central plains usually enjoy the dancing of beautiful women. At least there is a hazy mask. These Qiang women are quite bold, but Liu Ye has seen the world.

With the sound of the Qiang people's rough music, eight Qiang women danced and showed their attractive and slim figure in the hall. One of the leading Qiang women even threw a wink at Liu Ye from time to time, while Liu Ye was calm and unaffected.

Yao Lingkun laughed and said, "sheriff, it seems that the women in my family are very fond of you."

Liu Ye smiles, and then says, "some of the generals and soldiers under his command have not heard for a long time. I'm afraid they are worried. How about asking the patriarch to send someone to send a message?"

Yao Lingkun nodded: "it's easy to say." Then he beckoned and gave orders to a servant, who went out.

After some excitement, Yao Lingkun personally takes people to see Liu Ye off.

"Today, the sheriff rode into the city to preside over justice for us. Yao Lingkun is really grateful. On behalf of the whole family, I would like to thank the sheriff for his great kindness."

"It's good to say that in the future, if there's anything wrong with Yao clan chief, just send someone to Jixian county to look for me. The governor of this prefecture still said that, under a certain administration, the Han and Qiang people are treated equally."

Before Yao Lingkun takes Liu Ye to the gate of the village, they wave goodbye. Liu Ye rides out of the gate alone. Zhang jaw and Guan Hai are waiting with hundreds of riders. Seeing Liu Ye galloping out of the village, they immediately greet him.

"Is the sheriff safe?"

Liu Ye nodded: "well, check it out. It was the county officials under Wang Shu's command who changed their lives without authorization. They changed the tax from 15 to 10 yuan per mu. But now they are all cleared up. I'll go back later."

Liu zishuai flag rises from the ground, three thousand steps of riding smoke and dust, like a cloud, disappeared from the city before the village disappeared.
